Savina went above and beyond to make our proposal and engagement photo experience perfect. I met…read morewith her about a month prior to the proposal for consultation, how we would be in touch for the morning of, and her vision for the photos at the winery in Napa. She even offered to travel to Napa ahead of time to view the venue, and this familiarity really helped so that she was able to capture the architecture and feel of the location. On the morning of, she was there early and ready at the perfect spot. After the surprise of the proposal, she spent about an hour taking our photos around the winery and inside the tasting room with suggested poses and pre-determined locations. She was extremely efficient, and we felt that we had plenty of time for everything. She sent a handful of photos less than an hour after we were done, which we were able to share with friends and family. After a few weeks, she sent the full portfolio (over 500 photos) and everyone agrees that they were beautiful. She captured the proposal so incredibly, was extremely easy to communicate with, and highly professional. I would highly recommend her work to anyone needing a wedding or engagement photographer.

She is a great planner, and asked for key things like a family photo shot list and names to streamline the family photo process, to be extra prepared for the day. She and her second shooter were punctual and prepared, and it felt like they were all over the place, finding the perfect shot amongst the chaos of the wedding. Tammy also uses online tools that make viewing and sharing pictures really easy - something we didn't think about, but that we're grateful for. Overall, Tammy was awesome - highly recommended!

Photos were a top priority for my spouse and I, and once we found Tammy's website her style spoke to both of us. We felt lucky she was available and only a bit above our price range (worth the splurge!!). She was very responsive and it was easy to select a package that was the best fit. She is such an energetic, happy human being - neither of us are very used to having our photo taken and she knows what to say to help you relax and enjoy the moment. Her focus is documentary-style and letting the day unfold, and we appreciated that posing was kept to a minimum (but she was helpful in providing ideas when we needed them). We were also happy we decided to do an engagement session so we could meet in person before the big day, and now we have such lovely photos to enjoy for years to come.

Looking for a wedding photographer?? Look no further, and just contact Anna!…read more We absolutely loved all the photos that she captured for our special day at The Gardens at Heather Farm. She was easy going and kept the photography process simple and fun. She worked with our tight schedule without any stress, even when some things didn't go according to plan (ie. people not showing up at the right spot/time). We truly appreciated how prepared and creative she was, knowing what photos to take and where to take them. And whenever there was a random group photo being taken by a cell phone, she would magically appear and take an even better photo for us. Amazing! We will definitely reach out to her if we ever need photography services again. Thank you so much, Anna!

If I could give Anna more than 5 stars I would because she deserves it!…read more We worked with Anna to do our engagement photos and for the day of our wedding. For the engagement photos, this was back in November 2023. She was already there when we arrived. Zach and I both felt so awkward and nervous since this was our first photo shoot, but Anna worked her magic and did her best to help us relax for the entire session. She's also a dog person so I was overjoyed that our dog was able to join us in these photos. After we saw the amazing engagement photos, I knew I had to secure her for our wedding day. Her response time is great as well; she will let you know when she is out of town and how long/when to expect a response from her. Our wedding was in mid-July 2024. Anna was there early again to scope out the wedding venue and checked in with both Zach and I the entire event. When I was having trouble walking in my dress, she was quick on her feet to help me. We had a long list of photos we wanted with family and she was able to organize everyone in a timely fashion. We only saw a snippet of the wedding photos, but I already know that the rest will turn out wonderfully. Anna is super friendly, approachable and such a sweet and kind person. She has a professional demeanor that is also very open, honest and fun. Working with her both times has been a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Anna for anyone that wants their special moments captured. I look forward to working with her in possible future photo shoots :) Thank you so much Anna! You are amazing!!

It had to be Kristy. We were lucky enough to set a date far enough in the future to ensure her availability. We used her for our engagement photos and were so happy with them! The images are sharp, clear, and vibrant. We had tons of compliments on them. It was great to use her for our engagement photos because it gave us a chance to get comfortable with her taking our photos, though it doesn't take much much since Kristy makes you feel comfortable. She made us laugh and get excited about our wedding. Then came the wedding and she was such a huge help on the day of! She made us feel so special and was great at guiding us and getting the best shot. I didn't even hear her camera make a sound during the ceremony once, yet she captured so many beautiful images. Of course we ran behind schedule and she was still able to fit in plenty of pictures of our bridesmaids/groomsmen & family photos quickly! After the ceremony we barely even noticed she was there! She blended in well and we never felt like she was in the way. The night before at the rehearsal she scouted out spots for photos, shared her opinions and expertise. She's very professional, responds quickly to e-mails, and will work with you on whatever you want; ie locations & including your pet! I'm SO happy she was our photographer. The final wedding images are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I'd definitely recommend Kristy. I really feel that she's one of the best photographers in the entire area. You're very lucky if you get to use her services. I'm looking forward to her photographing any future events in our lives. :)

I should have written this review along time ago. First i should say like others have on here that…read morei felt the same way about knowing she was the one I wanted for my photographer as soon as we met. She was very prepared , So down to earth and actually listened to the fact that i had a tight budget i needed to stay in. I got married on 2/19/12 In San Jose, CA and Opal was a great big help in making my day a smooth one . She went above and beyond what i could ever expect from a photographer. She not only Took AMAZING PICTURES but she helped me and my girls finish putting together my cupcake stand , helped with my dress and when none of us could figure out how to do the bustle on my dress during my reception it was Opal to the rescue and she did it. I could go on and on about her and her husband Ed the DJ who we also had at out wedding . They are Amazing. If i could give ten stars i would .

We hired Dawn for Bridals, Engagements and Wedding photos which all happened in the very last two…read moremonths leading up to our wedding! She was amazing I don't even know where to begin! From the get go she took on this challenge like a champ. I only had a little bit of time before my wedding and had yet to find someone who I felt shared my vision. After a friend recommended Dawn, I looked at her blog and immediately knew I had to have her. I felt instantly comfortable around Dawn she is super sweet and full of energy (something I was lacking at times.) We got the package deal for unlimited coverage of the wedding which included an engagement shoot and bridals/groomals. She brought a second shooter along for the bridals and the wedding for maximum coverage which was really awesome since I know how hard it is to be in two places at once. Once Dawn got the shots she had them edited and uploaded within the week! She was very flexible with her schedule and met us all the way at the Marin Headlands for the shots we so wanted and we could not have been happier with the results. For my bridals she knew the perfect location for some of the most dramatic shots. Dawn is truly an artist and went above and beyond our expectations. She took her time to make the pictures perfect, and I never felt rushed or pressured. We fought mosquitos, traffic and trudged into places a bride might fret to go and it was SO worth it. I am so grateful she was the one to make all of those precious moments a solidified memory in my mind and for generations to come.

We got our daughter's senior portraits done with Dawn and we love the results. We went with the…read morestylist she recommended for hair and makeup (Marla) and she did a beautiful job getting my daughter ready. Dawn helped us with picking which of the outfits we brought worked best with the different locations and she was great at giving direction and coming up with ideas. We shot in two beautiful locations that she suggested. The process itself was fun as Dawn is engaging as well as thoughtful and professional. She took hundreds of photos and then edited them down to a large gallery of shots to choose from. Choosing was the hardest part because there were SO many amazing photos and all were high-quality with attention to light and details. When we made our selections, Dawn did final edits and was responsive to our thoughts and requests. She worked efficiently and was great about communicating. We have friends that went with much cheaper options for their photos but we are very happy with our choice. It was worth it to us to work with a top notch professional with a great eye who provided fantastic direction and expert editing. Dawn is amazing and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend her!
